Testimonial for Ethel Tally MS, HCDC, RYT, RPYT, BRM Pro+
I am a first time mom with "advanced maternal age "and delivered in a hospital, although had I've been younger I would've preferred a homebirth. I definitely knew I wanted to Doula by my side during labor while in the hospital. While looking through all the profiles what struck me about Ethel was that she had Hypnobirthing experience, but then when we spoke on the phone and FaceTimed I immediately felt a connection with her and we automatically clicked over conversation regarding the zodiac. I also would like to say that I interviewed five doulas!
Ethel came over twice before my baby was born and that was huge because she showed my partner and I different positions that could help make labor more tolerable and she also answered all of the random questions I had regarding what to expect once my water broke and also when I got to the hospital. (and I had a lot of questions!) Before I went into labor Ethel was always available via text or email which was a very invaluable resource to have especially during the end when I had a lot of different doctor appointments. She is also a great resource for prenatal and postnatal resources in the city for example a Shiatzu masseuse, a nanny etc. during labor Ethel's presence was comforting, reassuring, and she was instrumental in helping me make decisions. My labor was long, 30 hours, and if I'm going to spend that much time with someone I need to really like that person a lot! Plus it's a very vulnerable experience and I wanted somebody there that I felt very comfortable with. I recommend Ethel without any reservations for anyone looking for a wonderful Doula with a Hypno birthing background and a wonderful personality. She's definitely somebody you would like to have accompany you on this journey.
